1/7 @BigQuestionsNow A Q about this chart you or someone can help me with: We have high Ag/Au at the top of our mine moving to Zn/Pb/Ag w/ decreasing Ag, no Au at depth. Below that we expect & start 2 c more Cu. But in this graphic there is Cu-Au. Does this model work for us?
2/7 The Zn-Pb-Ag mineralized zones that comprise the El Mochito deposit are classified as distal zinc skarns as defined by Meinert (1992). You'll see the wildcat hole we are planning in the graphic below, probing for a heat source, which has, until now been elusive. The highest 
3/7 Cu grades (of 0.7%) in the mine are patchy, never considered economic but can be found close to the collar of this new hole in that thicker manto area. We have high Ag grades in the vertical chimney orebodies, and mostly base metals at the bottom. Geology background below.
4/7 The mine is sitting in a big graben, part of the regional "Chortis" tectonic plate. Its a zone just south of extreme regional faulting that takes place between Honduras & Guatemala
5/7 For those curious and the professionals interested
in helping us, I have included the blurb on the host rocks and deposit style straight from our last technical report. (Thanks Mike & Matt from @Mercator_Geo )

6/7 What is curious to me is the apparent basement anticline & its relation to local faulting & dykes as seen below (Ref. an earlier structural study): Perhaps there is a dome at depth feeding this whole thing through the faults? Hence our DDH hole to probe the depths below.
7/7 So there you have it! A real-world geological mystery. Hopefully no-one has been bored too much. It be fantastic to hear whatever comments/theories you may have. 🙏
